I have never seen a more coordinated giveaway ever! Everyone was super friendly and helpful. Thank you so very much for the services you provide to the community in these trying times. To have your car filled with much needed groceries is indeed a blessing.

This was such a rewarding way to spend a few hours. This is such a well run organization and when you first walk in and see ALL eighteen counties that they serve.This is a BLESSING!!! I sometimes get so caught up in trying to negotiate and get things sorted out and things get overwhelming and heavy BUT a honest day of doing something positive for the good of others brings everything back to focus. I recommend a few hours of volunteering! Free your mind and feed your soul!

Great experience. The Receivers were very swift and timely.25 -35 minutes after I bumped the dock. They were done.Their is a lot of room to maneuver and to boot there is a gravel spot to the left of the entrance outside the gate where a couple trucks can do their 10 hr break if need be.

After a multiple family residence fire in Knoxville the week before thanksgiving they came to to rescue of 14 family's with a pallet of food and hams for every family. All with a one day notice. Fantastic people saving thanksgiving for a lot of folks.

I stopped by today never have been there before. I was greeted by a woman at the front desk named Chery(I know I’m misspelling it). She was so compassionate and kind. She listened to all my questions, comments and concerns. Also, this is a distribution center even though google has it listed as a pantry. They do have emergency boxes available with non perishable items. I’m very grateful. Thank you!!!!
